Title: Thinning Hair on T
Post by: MJMW on January 06, 2010, 02:18:14 PM
Hey guys
I'm 20 yrs old and started T 6 months ago.  Pre T, I had an extremely thick head of hair. However, I have noticed that it has thinned out significantly. My hairline isn't receding or anything, my hair just isn't as thick.  Has anyone else experienced this? Did it stop after a period of time?  I haven't noticed it getting any thinner and my dad began loosing his hair at 40, so I think I'm ok for now...

Hey there.  I'm not on T yet myself, but I've heard it's quite natural for your hair to thin and/or your hairline to recede a little, because men generally have thinner hair and different hairlines than women do.  So long as the thinning has stopped it probably isn't a big worry for you.  I know a lot of guys have experienced hair thinning on T whether or not that caused balding.  I hope you get some more responses from those who have more experience. :)

My hairline has been changing and receding, but I haven't gotten thinner hair overall. My hair's thin to begin with so I hope it stays that way. :icon_nervious:

I feel you there; I think going bald is my biggest fear with T.  Pretty vain, isn't it?  :P
